This is a cute picture book story for younger children.  I've been teaching 10 month reading this summer used it to get my students talking and learning to talk back to books.  Ask questions, infer and predict what will happen.  Friendship and being the one to stand up and speak out are excellent themes in this book.  Helping the kids make a connection on how they would feel if something like this happened to them.  Love the book.
